We have tried lots of fonts etc for the same problem (we use activepdf) We have found the only solution is to have the person type the information in Notepad(PC) or Simpletext(Mac). I worked extensively with the support from Activepdf on this problem and couldn't come up with a solution. One work about-if the user wants to use some word features such as spell check (warning: this will drive some folks nuts) is to type it in Notepad first then paste in Word. It will keep the apostrophes intact. (assuming you don't type any new ones) Wish I had a better answer to give...
-----Original Message----- From: Randell B Adkins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2002 10:00 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: TextArea & MS Word Here is a quick question: Using MS Word 2000 or even 97, copying information from a document and pasting it into a TEXTAREA box will lose the formatting such as apostrophes. I am not concerned with the BOLD or Italicize but the apostrophes, commas, and quotes I am concerned about. With the TEXTAREA if I manually type the apostrophes, commas, and quotes, then it is retained when saving to the database. But if Pasted from MS Word, it transforms the apostrophe into a little square box. Any suggestions on why this occurs? We are looking at ActiveEdit or soEditorLite to handle this but baffles me why I can manually type it and it is retained verses pasting it into the field and then it is converted.
